Question

What makes magnet behave as an attracting object

Open in App
Solution

Magnets can either attract or repel each other. A permanent magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field around itself. It is this field that enables them to stick to each other and to some types of metal. Specifically, they stick to ferromagnetic materials like iron and things that contain iron, such as steel.
